September 2025 Sketch Cards
Monday, November 3rd, 2025
We remembered September! Not the 21st, but close enough. It was a good range of sketches this month, with lots of cats and dragons as is the best possible way.
- Rebecca S asked for a ladybug using a typewriter and I made choices about it
- Amy B asked for an opossum and gets the “he scream at own ass” meme (if you look this up use knowyourmeme.com not google, trust me on this) (sold)
- SaraBeth wanted Mal in a Statue of Liberty costume. Mal did not want this. (sold)
- Jeff prompted “spinal tap” since the new movie’s coming out, and got a spine being tapped (sold)
- Jo asked for Nightshade chasing a flower fairy
- Kelly requested a cat in a hat, and, well. That’s what she got! (sold)
- Andria wanted a hot apple cider dragon, and the dragon got a little excited
- Karla asked for a tea dragon with milk or lemon, and I went with lemon (sold)
- Nick asked for Nanamo Ul Namo, which is apparently from Final Fantasy, and gets emoji style
- JoVE asked for “plums! so many plums!” and I took her a bit literally but I had fun

Ravens and Bats, Oh, My!
Sunday, September 14th, 2025
Felt like doodling, did some flying things. Six ravens, two bats, and a lot of pen and ink. These were doodled pencil-free with a dip pen, and the one smudgey one was deliberately smudged with a water brush. A few of them have a little secret sparkle, but it’s hard to spot in the photo.

- Eric prompted “olo” which is a new color made by lasers, and I went kinda abstract with it since I had a watercolor bookmark laying around for reasons. (sold)
- Amy B asked for a skrungle and she has received. (sold)
- JoVE asked for “dawn chorus” and gets some little brown birds at dawn in rather abstracted trees.
- Rhonda wanted some spring flowers, so have a little breath of the cooler, better previous season.

June 2025 Patreon Sketches
Sunday, June 29th, 2025
You may have noticed that May is conspicuously absent, and that’s because I did the wrong month’s prompts, whoops. May’s will be next month, promise!
- Eric asked for Han, Lando, and/or Hondo, and Hondo Ohnaka won the impromptu housemate poll so here he is. (sold)
- Jeff prompted “purple prank” and got a purple-ized version of my favorite internet joke. He’s no stranger to love, you guys. (sold)
- Amy B asked for some kind of critter and fortunately or unfortunately, this little cookie thief is what happened.
- Shannon asked for a yelling Stellar’s Jay, and I’m pretty happy with how this little guy turned out. I considered filling up the space with swear words, which is what I assume they yell, but decided against it.
- Rebecca S prompted “Magic,” and I decided to do some tea serving itself. You know, magically.
- Kelly asked for some wildflowers, and got this assortment of random purple blooms. And a bee butt, just because.
- It’s SaraBeth’s birthday this month, and she asked for something fun! And, uh, well. I had fun. The cat, not so much. (sold)
- Jo suggested camping in the rain, and I decided I wanted the dreary storm outside and a warm glow coming from inside the tent.
For the record, if you were to follow my Patreon (there’s a free option!), you’d also get a cat pic with this post.
